How EQUITHOR Works
EQUITHOR works with all biting flies that require a blood meal, e.g. horseflies, March flies and other Tabanids.
The centrally placed black ball 'tricks' the flies by mimicking the heat given off by a horse. Once attracted on to the ball, they investigate it and try to bite it.
Since they are unsuccessful in gaining their desired blood feed, they follow their natural behaviour and fly up and away.
As the horseflies naturally fly upwards they fly into the hood system where they are guided into a centrally placed collection bin. This is filled with water and so they die in the trap.
